PRESENTATION MATERIALS: http://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2012kul/materials/ PRESENTATION ABSTRACT: With ever increasing OS, compiler and linker defences it is in the interest of researchers and security teams to understand which binaries don't leverage these available protections. The goal maybe to ensure exploitability should a vulnerability be discovered or it may be understanding where other defensive measures need to be deployed. This talk will provide a comprehensive review of the available defences and how their presence can be detected without access to source code. The talk will look across a range of binary formats, operating systems and compilers. The talk will also summarize the what, why and how in relation to modern defensive mechanisms while showing how to build the tools to detect.
